Izzie, welcome to the message board, and thank you for your nice words about the website. I love working on it.

Tim - my son is 37 and has a fear of crowds. He avoids them as much as possible. The crowd is just overwhelming to him. I can somewhat relate to your mom's fear and adding in the factor of her celebrity would make a crowd even more fearful to her I would think.

Thank you for answering my question and for the extra information, Tim. I appreciated it. I'm also fearful of crowds, even though I do go to the parks once in awhile when it's not so crowded. Iz.
